Figure 1. Exploring Alkylation Scope with Carbonates.

Reaction conditions: Allyl methyl carbonate (1.0 equiv, 0.30 mmol), DHP (1.5 equiv, 0.45 mmol), 4CzIPN (3 mol %), Ni(phen)Cl2 (5 mol %), and DMF (3 mL, 0.1 M) thoroughly degassed followed by stirring near blue LEDs for 16 h. E/Z ratios were determined by 1H-NMR of the isolated product. a1 mmol scale. bdr > 20:1.
